Jenny McCarthy revealed that she was in an emotionally abusive relationship for four years that "could have easily killed" her, during a hair product launch on Tuesday.

The blonde bombshell explained how she endured years of torment before she found the strength to leave.

"What I thought was gonna be a typical relationship, turned into a relationship that you would never think you would get yourself into. Especially me. I mean, I really consider myself to be pretty strong-willed and confident, even back then. But I did find myself being slowly manipulated in to a very, very dark, abusive -verbally abusive - relationship that could have easily killed me. I no longer had my own thought. They were replaced with his thoughts about me. That I was worthless, disgusting, talentless, ugly, fat, smelled so badly. I was no longer worthy of being kissed," she told the audience.

Her a-ha moment came when she decided to focus on her own inner beauty and loving herself, instead of relying on her boyfriend's love.

"In that moment, I found my accountability in the hell I was living in. The path to loving yourself requires you to stop putting the blame on others and observe the choices you make that got you there. It wasn't his job to love me. It was mine. So I chose to finally get the hell out of that relationship. I chose to be powerful not powerless," she detailed.

The former Playboy centerfold is now happily married to husband Donnie Wahlberg, but before that she dated NFL player Brian Urlacher briefly in 2012 after her split from boyfriend of five years Jim Carrey.

"I got to a place in my life were I learned I deserved love in the right way, a healthy way, and I wasn't going to settle any more until I got 'The One.' I literally said that out loud, I said 'God I don't want to be a teacher to any more guys I want to just love and I want someone to reflect the love I had inside of me.' Within probably a month I met Donnie," she gushed.

We're glad she found the strength to walk away from a horrible situation.
